SUKABUMI - As a form of concern for disaster-affected communities, BRI Life synergizes with Rumah Zakat to inaugurate a program to provide clean water and sanitation in Cisolok Village, Sukabumi Regency, West Java. This step is a quick response to the clean water crisis that hit the region after the flash flood in November 2025.
Restoration of Clean Water Access after a Disaster
The flash flood that hit Sukabumi on November 7-8, 2025 not only flooded settlements, but also damaged the clean water distribution facilities owned by PDAM. As a result, around 90 families or 300 people in Cisolok Village have difficulty accessing clean water for daily needs.
In response to this condition, BRI Life through its social responsibility program initiated the construction of sustainable clean water infrastructure. This program is focused on Gunung Geulis Village, Cisolok District, which is one of the points that is quite severely affected.
BRI Life and Rumah Zakat synergy
The realization of this assistance is realized through the construction of boreholes and facilities for Bathing, Washing, Kakus (MCK) which is located at the Al Hikmah Mosque. This facility not only serves the surrounding residents, but also supports the need for clean water for the boarding school with 35 students.
Ade Nasution, Head of the Corporate Secretary Division of BRI Life, explained that this program is part of the company's commitment to sustainable development (Sustainable Development Goals).
"This program is expected to help the community meet basic needs, improve health standards, and encourage the creation of a more productive environment. This success is the fruit of the synergy and concern of all parties," said Ade in a written statement.
Bringing Back the Old Dead Facilities
Before the assistance from BRI Life, the MCK facility at Mushola Al Hikmah was known to have been stalled for almost 10 years due to limited water sources. The presence of the new boreholes is a turning point for the religious and social activities of local residents.
Nanang Somantri, a religious figure and also the head of the DKM in Cisolok Village, expressed deep appreciation for this assistance.
"We are very grateful to BRI Life. Residents feel very helped and happy because the Mushola Al Hikmah toilet facility is now functioning again after a long time. This has a positive impact on worship activities and public health," concluded Nanang.
With adequate clean water facilities, it is hoped that the risk of disease due to poor sanitation can be suppressed and the quality of life of Cisolok Village residents will recover after the disaster.
